The Edge of the World: A Cultural History of the North Sea and the Transformation of Europe is a 2014 history book written by Michael Pye and published by Pegasus Books.

It covers the period from the fall of the Roman Empire to just before Europe's emergence from the medieval era. The story focuses on the impact of the medieval North Sea cultures.
Reviewers praised Pye's engaging storytelling and his core argument, but critiqued some of his wider connections.[1][2][3]
